Are HKS Exhausts Street Legal?

Q: I have and HKS exhaust and I wanted to know if it is street legal and is there any documentation?

A: All HKS exhaust systems are engineered to comply with the 95dB noise limit law specified by the California Highway Patrol and the Society of Automotive Engineers - Except ones that are designated for Off-Road Use only.

Each system is individually designed for a specific application and complies with the requirements of Sections 27150, 27151 & 27200 of the California Vehicle Code; and Title 13 of the California code of Regulations, Section 10361, which establishes a noise limit of 95dB(A) for passenger cars. This statement applies to unmodified HKS exhaust systems that are less than 13 months old, are in good condition and which have been properly installed on the specific vehicle for which it was designed.

The age of your exhaust system along with certain engine modifications, such as headers, intake, etc., may also affect its current noise level output.

Please check with your local and state law enforcement agencies for exact regulation requirements.

If you would like documentation on HKS exhausts that meet this criteria
, please contact either your local authorized HKS Dealer or our Tech line at 310 491 3300.

behjjeh, avoid the "difficult" members here and just contact AAM up in Gaithersburg. They are an HKS authorized vendor and should be able to get you what you're looking for.

So was "difficult" aimed at me? If so, that wasn't my intention. His posts aren't very clear and I live in MD, so I haven't heard of a dB exhaust limit. At least I haven't been pulled over for my exhaust / test pipes setup.

He wanted my phone number to call me...I didn't want to give it to him.

Is there a crime in that?

Yes, it was aimed at you...To recap your responses after some fairly self-explanatory posts about needing manufacturer noise certifications for his exhaust, you replied:

I have an HKS exhaust...I still don't know what the hell you need any documentation...
He said he was trying to avoid a ticket.


and

I got it...let me know here why you need the documentation.
He's explained it twice already at this point.

and then after saying you have documentation regarding the noise levels (since that IS what he asked for), you said

The only documentation that i MIGHT have is my receipt.
If I'm way off base, I apologize, it just seemed like you were being exceedingly difficult about a simple request to help the guy out by providing some manufacturer documentation so he could avoid a ticket. We have no way to see here that he asked for your phone number, and would assume that if he'd PM'd you asking for it, you'd continue the correspondence via PM instead of taking his PM to the public forum.

That's just me though, and again, sorry if I misread your posts.

By "it", I meant his PM. Not that I had the documentation. All I have is my receipt.

I was busy at work and didn't dedicate enough time to fully reading his posts. For that, I apologize.

Good luck with AAM. I hope you find the appropriate documentation. I'm sure Mike and company will be able to help.
